Ambient Sound Levels At Four Department Of Interior Conservation Units (In Support of Homestead Air Base Reuse). Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)

Date Issued:: 1999-06
Summary:: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in cooperation with the United States Air Force (USAF), is developing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) in support of the planned commercialization of Homestead Air Base in Southern Florida. As part of this SEIS it is important to analyze potential noise impacts in the areas surrounding the airport. An integral part of this undertaking is the comprehensive definition of the associated sound level environment. The FAA and USAF, with the assistance of the Acoustics Facility at the United States Department of Transportation's John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, conducted ambient sound level measurements during the period August 10 through 20, 1998. In total, over 160 hours of acoustical and meteorological data were measured at 29 sites throughout Biscayne National Park, Everglades National Park, Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, and the southern portion of Big Cypress National Preserve. This document summarizes this comprehensive noise measurement study. Also included is a description of the enhancements made to the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) in Support of the Homestead SEIS.
